I am trying to run the Typesafe activator's UI. When I run it, it acts like it is downloading everything successfully, but the throws a java.lang.IlleagalArgumentException. I have tried multiple times to run it, but I keep getting this error:

Press any key to continue . . .

I can't think of what more to do. Is this a problem that can be fixed?? I have tried google, but have found nothing of use.

I fixed the same error by moving the location of the activator directory from "My Documents" to "c:\tmp".

This link has details that the path must not contain a space: https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.3.x/Installing
